This necklace is inspired by the past and by the resilient Jews who faced persecution during the Spanish Inquisition for practicing Judaism. To avoid being caught, Judaica items such as a kiddush cup or menorah were disguised and transformed into household objects. Jewelry was also hidden, and this particular piece appears to be a regular Star of David, but it actually opens up to become 6 diamond butterflies. It's a great conversation starter and a versatile heirloom piece that serves as a reminder of the freedom we have to practice our religion today.
Many clients appreciate this necklace because they can wear it in two ways. One client shared that she wears it as butterflies when she's on the subway in New York or in places where she doesn't feel safe. Another client wears it while traveling abroad. It is comforting to have the option. I hope that we can all wear our Magen David and other Judaica jewelry proudly without fear.
